Help with cold idle surge problem

I have a 2000 that had a west coast vette throttle body and a vortex ram air kit installed when I got the car. The problem I am having is when I first start the car when it is cold, the idle surges up to about 6000 rpm's then goes right down to normal idle. It only does this when it is cold. All other times it starts and runs normal. I checked for vacuum leaks did not see any, Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks Steve

One more time, I have searched this site and found no answers, I am very very new to the ls1 and the car came to me this way, any and I mean any thoughts on why this is happening would be truly appreciated.
